ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sakura Haruno vs Hinata Hyuga]

The pixel animation during the fight scenes was well planned and fun to watch.
The voice acting was good.

Though,
There was a lot of dialogue and yet no indication of lip sync animation.
Not to mention the 4 minute of shaky pixel conversation they had in the beginning.

I know its naruto and you had no choice but
There was a lot of copyrighted material including music, pictures that seemed to be downloaded right off of google images.
I may be wrong,
but it seemed to me that nothing was hand drawn, modeled, etc.
Except for maybe during fight scenes.

Otherwise,
I can appreciate the planning and effort that was put into this.
I could tell that this was a labor of love from a fan.

Jozarto responds:

I appreciate the input and compliments, I really appreciate it. Honestly.

Yeah, regarding the dialogue and lack of lip sync, I was actually very hesitant to use the mouth sprites that I have, due to them being a bit too big to fit on the characters' faces properly. The bouncing was lazy, and not very fun, I admit that. Also, I'm sure the dialogue was far too lengthy. It took over 3 minutes of the animation.

As for the music, the first song is an original track by a friend, the second track was a cover of the Naruto fighting theme, and third track was the original OST (I should have changed it), and the fourth song was a cover by Raon Lee, and the last track was Sakura's theme, which I should have changed.

As for the drawings, those were actually redrawn screenshots from the anime. My friend Tessa drew them over on Photoshop. In essence, she traced some closeup images from scenes in the anime. Not the most original approach, but I thought it would be the most pleasing to the eye, and possibly nostalgic.

This criticism is good, and I'm glad to hear someone else's thoughts on this project. Thanks.

[Poppy Topper - Remembrance Day]

I love British humor.
Very funny and Enjoyable.

The animation was well executed, but looked a bit stiff.

LOTAC responds:

Thanks for the kind words my man and I'm glad you enjoyed it

And yeah, we try and get out out every month so we gotta try and cut corners here and there. Also v. limited budget so that never helps. One day soon I hope we get enough time and money to make these alot better

[The Return Of Nazo: Part 3 Trailer]

A cross between sonic and dragonball z.
Animation and visual effects were nice.

[Assassin's Creed Odd is He]

This makes me want to buy the actual game.

Excellent parody.
The voice acting was the best part:)

[EDDSQUEST]

This was fun.

Animation wasn't very complex.
Most of the video was just the main character moving through some still and animated backgrounds.

[RIP IT OUT]

I really like the background music.
Character designs are very nice.

AntonM responds:

thanks! I love scoring these vids, happy u like the music

[Over Exposure : Foamy The Squirrel]

True...

Have you thought about adding some in between frames in your future animations?
It would look amazing.

[PIANOID]

Really nice animation.
A great funny story.

[The King of Heck!]

Loving the animation quality, designs, etc.

An amusing short.
